Theories and Practices of Development Willis KatiePaperback
Global economic crisis, political instability and climate change have led academics and policy-makers to consider how 'development' in all parts of the world should be achieved. While often presented as a positive process to improve people's lives, the potential negative dimensions of 'development' on people and environments must also be recognised.Theories and Practices of Development provides a clear and user-friendly introduction to the complex debates around how development has been understood and achieved. However, 'development' has always been a contested idea.
There is a new chapter on politics and development, encompassing debates around development and democracy, civil society organisations, and human rights. The third edition has been fully updated and expanded to reflect global political and economic shifts, as well as new approaches to development.
